Band Announcements

Parents and Students,

I hope everyone had a nice restful spring break and is ready to make that final push till summer: The band has a lot of activities planned to finish out our year and I just wanted to take a moment to make sure everyone is aware of what is coming up:

• Last week we started our third and final fundraiser for the year. We will complete a bag sale. Student were sent home Wednesday with a brochure all money must be turned in on April 23^rd. I highly encourage all students to participate either to help with their fundraising requirement/band fees for this year or to prepare for band camp next year. Students will receive 40% of all profits sold onto their account and all of the money will go towards purchasing new music stands for the band room.
• There is a Band Booster Meeting this Thursday April 10^th at 6:00pm. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
• The band will be hosting open auditions for the drum line Tuesday April 8^th through Thursday April 10^th from 3:30-5:00pm. Auditions are open to all students in grades 8^th-12^th, Students should expect to attend all three days to learn all skills necessary to be a member of the drum line. You do not have to have any prior experience to attend auditions. If you are interested see Mr.Rogers in the band room for details.
• The Band Auxiliary Line will be having an informational meeting on Thursday April 17^th From 5:00pm-6:00pm for any 8^th-12^th grade students interested in participating in the color guard or majorette line for next year. To be considered you and a parent must be present at the meeting or schedule a conference before auditions. If you are interested see Mr.Rogers in the band room for details.
• For all students interested in trying out for Drum Major we will have a short meeting on Thursday April 17^th from 3:30-4:00 to review the audition process and requirements.
•  The Childersburg Band Programs Spring Concert will be Thursday April 24^th at 6:00pm. I hope to see everyone their for the bands last full performance of the year. The Students have been working very hard to prepare and it is guaranteed to be a wonderful concert.

I hope everyone has a great week and I hope to see you all at the finale concert for the All County Honor and this Saturday at 2:00pm

Mr.Rogers
